mkinstalldirs detritus

[Eric Sunshine]

Hello,

The mkinstalldirs script which ships with Autoconf and Automake leaves bogus  
directories named "-p" and "--" in its wake on platforms (such as NextStep  
and OpenStep) for which the `mkdir' command does not recognize any options.   
Here is a patch which fixes this bug.  The patch is based upon the  
mkinstalldirs script from the Autoconf CVS repository since it appears to be  
more up-to-date than the one in the Automake CVS repository.
